New York Jets quarterback Geno Smith was questioned after a woman accused him of abuse and neglecting his “special needs” child in favor of playing video games. 

Police reportedly investigated claims made against Smith, 35, over the weekend, according to TMZ. No charges were filed against Smith and “the case is no longer open,” NFL reporter Andy Slater said on Monday, June 22. 

A woman named Kristen posted a since-deleted video via Instagram on Sunday, June 21, where she alleged the NFL star was abusive and neglectful. 

“Today is the DAY!” she captioned the video. “GENO SMITH beat my ass cause he HATES taking care of his special needs kid and can’t be left alone with him because he’d rather watch s*x online and play Call of Duty.”

In the clip, a shirtless Smith can be talking on the phone in the garage of his home while the woman — who is not the mother of Smith’s 7-year-old son, Seven — berates him. 

“Leave my neighborhood!” Smith tells her. 

In a separate video from the same incident, the woman is seen confronting Smith as he allegedly attempts to get into her car. 

“Throwing my purses out and stealing my money out my car with his high deranged ass,” she captioned the footage. 

In another clip, Smith can be seen getting questioned by police outside of his house. 

“Been supportive of this DEMON and his narcissistic personality disorder ALL MY DAMN LIFE!!!!!!!!” the woman wrote. 

Smith was traded to the Jets in March after spending last season with the Las Vegas Raiders and the previous five with the Seattle Seahawks. Us Weekly has reached out to the Jets for comment.

The mother of Smith’s son, who goes by Ken on social media, defended the NFL star amid the allegations.

“Geno is and always has been more than capable of taking care of his son,” she wrote via her Instagram Story on Sunday alongside a photo of the quarterback holding Seven. “Let’s kill that narrative. Don’t get on the internet bringing my son into your web of dysfunction.”

One of Meghan Markle‘s infamous moments has resurfaced amid her longtime pal’s return to the field!

Before becoming the Duchess of Sussex, the former actress formed a strong bond with Serena Williams. They have frequently supported each other over the years, but recently sparked rift rumors.

However, a resurfaced video capturing Meghan Markle’s behavior during a 2019 run-in with Serena Williams’ mother seemingly hints at trouble in their relationship years earlier.

The drama occurred in 2019 when Williams was competing in a singles final match against Bianca Andreescu at the US Open. A video focused on the VIP stands showed the athlete’s mother, Oracene Price, seated next to Meghan, who attempted and failed to strike up a conversation with the older woman.

Body language expert Judi James weighed in on their interaction, theorizing that their behavior showed signs of pre-existing “tension” between Williams’ mother and the Duchess of Sussex. James called Meghan out for acting for the cameras, telling The Daily Mail:

“There’s a suggestion that the cameras have triggered her professional actress traits as she mimes tension, support, and even affection via some rather theatrical-looking movements.”

The Duchess Of Sussex’s Priorities Differed From Serena Williams’ Mother

James noted that Meghan probably opted for more performative movements instead of copying Price’s silent but focused demeanor during the match to avoid appearing cold on camera. However, the body language expert claimed her choice was the wrong move.

“The silent stare and hushed stillness of Serena’s mother would be a more authentic response to tension,” James explained, stating that Price prioritized staying focused on the match. The expert described her behavior as being “in the zone” and “oblivious to any external noise.”

On the other hand, Meghan allegedly prioritized leaving an impression for the cameras. James recalled that she had just welcomed her son, Prince Archie, months before the match and evidently wanted “the world to know that she is there to support her friend.”

The Video Resurfaced Amid Rift Speculations

The resurfaced video follows speculations of a rift between Meghan and Williams. The allegations began after the tennis icon dropped a botched promotion for the Duchess’s As Ever brand, which some fans saw as shady.

In the post, Williams filmed herself opening a box of Meghan’s chocolates, with many of the pieces out of their assigned slots. She confessed in the video that she wasn’t a fan of chocolate, but she enjoyed the Duchess’s treats.

The athlete also tried to promote the entrepreneur’s candles, but couldn’t pronounce some of the ingredients and gave up halfway. Fans slammed the post as a “very poorly done promotion,” with some wondering if Williams was subtly shading Meghan.

Serena Williams Scores Wild Card To Play Singles At Wimbledon

The attention on Williams and Meghan’s relationship may be linked to the Laureus World Sportswoman of the Year honoree’s return to tennis. Many are eager to see if the Duchess will return to the stands to cheer for the athlete.

After spending six months in the anti-doping testing pool, Williams became eligible to enter events in February. She recently earned a wild card to play singles at Wimbledon, an event she hasn’t won since 2019, per CBS Sports.

The tennis icon last played singles at a WTA Tour event in September 2022 during the third round of the 2022 US Open. When asked if she would consider a singles return at Wimbledon earlier this month, Williams implied that it was out of the question, saying:

“You think I’m ready for singles? I need to get to work.”

Meghan Markle May Not Be Welcomed In The UK

Besides the speculations of tensions in her friendship with Williams, the As Ever founder has been making headlines for her scheduled return to the UK. The Blast reported that she, her husband Prince Harry, and their two children were expected to visit in July.

The rare family trip would mark their first visit to the UK since 2022, when the couple stepped down from their royal duties and relocated to the US. Royal commentator Phil Dampier theorized the trip wouldn’t be as easygoing as the Sussexes might expect.

Dampier argued that many still blame Meghan for Harry’s estrangement from the Royal Family, warning that she might face hostile reactions from the public upon her arrival. He added that the Sussexes were likely to receive a warm welcome at the Invictus Games compared to being out in public.

Farscape is full of interesting characters. The series is centered on the only human in the galaxy, John Crichton (Ben Browder), but the ensemble cast is what turned it into a fan favorite for nearly 30 years and counting. Yet one of them, the insane Stark (Paul Goddard) is widely considered to be the worst of the bunch. He’s not supposed to be liked, but then again, it feels like over time the writers forgot his insanity was supposed to be an act and not his primary character trait. 

Stark’s Insanity Was Supposed To Be Fake…ish

The trope of a character going from having one quirky personality trait to becoming dumber and more one-note over time has been dubbed, “Flanderization,” after Ned Flanders on The Simpsons. Flanders started out as the complete opposite of Homer Simpson, but over time, his religious traits became more and more prominent, overpowering everything else. That’s the case with Stark, who had a few amusing moments while crazy in the prison cell with Crichton, “My side, your side! My side, your side!,” but by Season 3, was a completely different character. 

Stark has a fascinating background with his standout metal mask hiding his true nature: lift the mask, and it reveals pure energy, which Stark uses to help people ease their suffering, including “crossing over” to the other side. In the process, they leave a part of their soul behind with him, that includes knowledge and emotions. No wonder he’s unbalanced. 

Stark Got Worse Every Season

The problem is that during his initial appearance, Stark confesses to Crichton that he’s pretending to be insane in order to keep Scorpius (Wayne Pygram) uninterested in him. Stark was even able to craft a key to escape the cell deep within the secret Peacekeeper base. Compare that to Season 3, and it’s almost two different characters. 

After the death of Zhaan in Season 3 Stark becomes significantly unhinged. His once cute ranting in the prison cell becomes a regular cadence when he speaks, “You, dead. Me, dead. You, dead. Me, dead,” “Time’s up. Game’s on. Good luck.” He has his moments of lucidity, but generally once he’s on screen, he’s shouting. 

Willing To Doom The Universe For Religion

During Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars, Stark, like Flanders, holds onto his religious beliefs so strongly that he’s willing to doom the universe because of them. When the last holder of the Eidelon’s power passes away, Stark resists helping him pass over, and thus, acquiring the part of his soul that contains the ancient teachings. It’s on the same level as Star-Lord messing with the removal of Thanos glove, except here, Crichton and Aeryn Sun are able to convince him to do the right thing. 

Farscape is an exceptionally well-written series with strong characterizations throughout, that for the most part, avoids the trap of one-note characters. Even Pilot is given a tragic background. Stark, despite appearing in every season, devolves over time, and his final moment is more of a relief than a triumph. Jool develops and changes more over time, positively that is, than Stark, and she’s the second most-hated member of the crew. Stark had potential, and while he’s irritating, on any other sho he’d be a highlight, but the bar is so high on Farscape that someone was going to be left behind.

Bold and the Beautiful spoilers for June 22 – July 03, 2026 sizzle with Katie Logan (Heather Tom) and Hope Logan (Annika Noelle) pulling an epic blindside that has the Forresters reeling, angry, and scrambling.

We’re going to get into the latest spoilers for the two weeks beginning June 22nd, including July sweeps kicking off in week one and kicking into high gear in week two.

Bold and the Beautiful: Hope’s Secret Launch Revealed – Week of June 22nd-26th

On Monday, June 22nd, Donna Logan (Jennifer Gareis) is back and finds herself in a difficult position. She knows things are going to blow skyhigh. I’m sure Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) is excited to tell her that Hope for the Future is coming back and Hope is ending her leave of absence. And Donna will know, oh crap, this is about to get really bad. She’s going to be nervous around Brooke.

And we may see Donna go over and try to get Katie and Hope to stop the launch before it’s too late. But come on, Bill Spencer (Don Diamont) will never let that happen. And Katie would not agree to it either. At this point, she’s dug in, which is smart. I guess Bill puts pressure on Wyatt Spencer (Darin Brooks) on Monday. I think Bill will snap if Wyatt tries to pass off that same fake diamond that he showed Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton). So, maybe we’ll find out if he got the real one or if that is the fake.

Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers: Dottie & Joseph Return

Tuesday, June 23rd, Morgan Fairchild returns as Dottie Bright. She and her assistant Joseph (Jim J. Bullock) get an exclusive sneak peek of Eric Forrester’s (John McCook) new couture collection at Forrester Creations. We have Brooke, Ridge (Thorsten Kaye), Eric, Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood), Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor), Zende Forrester (Delon de Metz), R.J. Forrester (Brayan Nicoletti) and others, all gathered in the CEO office when Dynasty drops the bomb that Logan’s new collection launches tomorrow because Bold and the Beautiful spoilers say the date of Logan’s fashion show shocks the Foresters.

So, it looks like they’re dropping the collection the same day as Eric’s or maybe even the day before. So, they’re blindsided because they had no idea Bill and Katie had moved so fast. We’ve also got Bill’s assistant, Alison, back and she may be the one who tries to block Brooke because after spills, Brooke storms over to Logan to rage at Katie for pushing out a collection the same time as Forrester Creations.

Brooke asked Katie who’s the designer, how she did this so fast. Hope’s hiding behind the screen and listening to Brooke going off on Katie. And Brooke’s unraveling, threatening to search the Logan offices. Katie laughs and calls her ridiculous. And Brooke gets more unhinged, and Katie keeps her distracted looking at her. That way, Hope can slip out and run from the office before Brooke sees her. And Katie tells Brooke she’ll find out who her designer is with everybody else at the launch of the new House of Logan collection. And Brooke’s going to leave mad. I doubt she’ll get to search the offices, though.

Bold and the Beautiful: The Collection Launches – Week of June 24th-26th

Wednesday, June 24th, Bill and Katie use Forrester to their advantage. So, they may tap into the buzz about Eric’s collection. Katie may use her PR contacts to invite people that may be in town for Eric’s launch just to kind of surf off their backs as usual. And Katie, you know, I think she’s going to do everything she can to get the limelight all on Logan.

The Forresters, meanwhile, are on the defense. Katie’s collection coming out right on top of Eric’s has the Foresters scrambling. They thought the spotlight was all theirs, but now Katie is grabbing it. So, the Forresters may try and see if they can steal the attention back, but at this point, they’re blindsided, angry, and frustrated, and they haven’t really found out the shocking news yet.

Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers: Electra Clueless

Thursday, June 25th is the first day of July sweeps, and Electra tells Will Spencer (Crew Morrow) she really hopes tomorrow is a big win for all of them. He heads into work, and at Logan, Katie and Bill tell their son Will about the jewelry line, and they swear him to secrecy. Bill tells Will he knows the jewelry line launch has him worried for his girlfriend, but Bill reminds him this is business. Wyatt and Shauna Fulton (Denise Richards) are there, too. And I think Will may be upset that they’re now competing against Electra, but this is, you know, as Bill said, it’s business.

Things are going to get awkward for Hope and Liam. So, I wonder if they have a run-in with Brooke maybe at the estate. Meanwhile, over at Logan, Katie and Bill are arm-in-arm, all smiles, doing final prep for the show. And Deke Sharpe (Harrison Cone) is excited. Everybody’s excited. This is going to be huge.

Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers: Lots of Casting Updates

Friday, June 26th, Dottie and Joseph are back and they may be going over to the Logan Fashion Show. We’ve got Donna back and we’ll see if she’s a Logan or Forrester. And the House of Logan hits the runway with their next launch. Shauna is there for it, so we may get a preview of the jewelry line as well. Although I’m sure the blue Hope for the Future diamond is meant to be the big finale piece when Hope and Deke walk out and take their bows.

There’s an Access Hollywood correspondent playing a guest role. Lots of models, Logan staff, influencers, photographers. Bill’s assistant is there. I saw a preview of what I think is the line in a California magazine that did an article about Bold and the Beautiful. We can’t show you the picture because copyright reasons, but if these are the outfits from the launch, which seems likely, they have almost a flamenco dancer flare.

I saw eight gowns, five black, one white, two black and white, red rose hair pieces. One has almost like a black hat. So, this is not what I was expecting from the fluffy blue stuff we saw at the preview. So, wait to see if the Forresters are going to push their way into the actual Logan event or if they’re just all going to watch the live stream at the office because we know Zende, Ridge and all of them are together for this. When they hear the House of Logan presents Hope for the Future designed by Deacon Sharpe, they are all going to freak.

Bold and the Beautiful: July Sweeps – Week of June 29th Through July 3rd

Then the week of June 29th through July 3rd, it is the first full week of sweeps. Everything gets higher stakes. Jaws drop as Hope and Deacon make their official House of Logan debut and walk the runway at the end of the show. And Brooke cannot believe what she is seeing. I expect the fashion show and reception to carry over until Monday. So Katie’s thrilled, but Brooke may come over there and legit strangle her in public. Expect a big showdown where Katie claims she didn’t break any rules because Hope is a Spencer, not a Forrester, and a Logan, not a Forrester. So, she stuck to the deal, but Brooke may slap Katie sideways.

Anyway, Electra is panicking over the competing jewelry line and whether she’s up to it. She may be upset at Will for not giving her a heads up, but I think Bill’s going to press him hard to keep quiet. Electra may find out about the jewelry line the same day Hope’s collection launches.

Donna is going to be facing scrutiny from Brooke because she may ask her if she knew about Hope being at Logan. And Donna’s going to have to say, “Yeah, I knew, but I tried to stop it.” But Brooke’s going to feel betrayed by her and every living Logan. Katie, Hope, all of them. Steffy’s going to be furious and Ridge too. They’re likely going to talk about how gracious they were to bring back Hope for the Future and then this is how she did them. Lying and going behind their backs, which was really tacky.

Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers: FC Takes Legal Action?

They might consider legal recourse because Hope is still their employee, but if they did that, it would probably just embarrass them in the fashion press. Hopefully Steffy hasn’t already sent out the press release about Hope for the Future coming back because that would be humiliating.

This House of Logan with Hope launch could really take the wind out of the sales for Eric’s couture launch. This is all going to be a scandalous story. First, we had Eric Forrester defecting over to Logan and the gossip about Ridge firing him. And then here comes Hope Logan, the daughter of Brooke Logan Forrester. That is huge. This is going to get so much attention.

I think the collection’s probably going to do really well and Eric’s collection may suffer, which is exactly what the Forresters don’t need. I expect R.J. to go on a nasty tirade about Will and the sneaky thieves at Logan and Ridge and Steffy may join in this time. They’re all going to be so furious. It’s going to be super soapy and I cannot wait to see it.
